The master of science degree in engineering management is
designed for engineers who hold, or expect to hold, positions as
managers in such technical organizations as engineering design
consultants, construction companies, petroleum and other
manufacturing and development industries, public agencies and the
military services. The master of science in science management is
similar and is available to holders of bachelor's degrees in the
physical, natural, and medical sciences. Since its beginning in
1959, the program and its counterpart at the Anchorage campus have
granted more than 550 master's degrees.

Students take 30 semester hours of course work, including
organization and management, human relations, economics and
finance, quantitative, legal, and technical subjects that are
important in the management of the technical enterprise. No thesis
is required, but a project that examines "real world" technical
management problems and presents a report of findings is
required.

On-campus courses are generally held in the late afternoon or
evening to allow employed engineers and scientists to participate
on a part-time basis. An increasing number of courses are available
via web-based instruction. Approximately 17% of our graduates are
female and 20% are active duty military.
